Peas are a vegetable that freezes really well so you have access to good peas year round. Frozen peas are great for throwing into dishes like soups and stews for some colour and flavour. They are also good by themselves as a quick side dish. I enjoyed this version of peas with pancetta and caramelized shallots. The saltiness of the pancetta pairs well with the sweetness of the peas.

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the pancetta and shallots and saute until the pancetta is just crispy and the shallots are nice and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the peas and saute until warm, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat and mix in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
6. Garnish with parmigiano reggiano.

Gloria: Thanks for the compliments. I am using a point and shoot camera with flash. I found a "macro" setting on my camera which really helps it take photos of close up things like food. It took me a while to get the hang of taking close up photos. I find it really helps to take a lot of photos. I take about 10-20 photos of each dish. Thats about all the tips that I have so far. I keep meaning to look into things like a dslr camera and lenses, better lighting and post photo editing.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
